They have another Spencer's on display in the new CEL (Center for Education & Leadership), but it is apparently not The other carbine. The NPS is pretty tough about loaning anything out. I think the Smithsonian's policies are more flexible.

BTW, Today, they are removing the display case that had the overcoat from the lobby.

Jim,

So the greatcoat's replica is no longer on display as well? Or is it temporary?

Thanks,
RC

I have not been down to Ford's since it's removal, but my understanding that for the time being, the replica coat has been removed. Hopefully, it will find a home, maybe across the street. The Fords Theatre Society is doing some makeover work for the lobby and gift shop in the lobby.
